Shannon Hunt, Many Levels - 28

"Baseball has not changed since its beginnings; you hit the ball, you catch the ball, you throw the ball, pretty simple really," Hunt told the school. "I have been very fortunate to experience the game at many levels, both collegiately and professionally as a player and a coach."

Hunt's time as a coach extended through four other schools and an independent team. His experience as a player extended through college and a single season as a pro.

Hunt's brief pro career began and ended in 1990, signed as a pro as an undrafted free agent at short-season Bend. He played his college ball at DeAnza College, Butte College and Lewis-Clark State College.

"He has an extensive and impressive background and resume which covers his playing career, head coaching and scouting," Langbehn said, according to the team. "He has basically done it all. His attention to detail in regards to hitting mechanics and mental approach are going to only make our hitters that much better."
